Topical Brownfields Guidance & Tools
- New Jersey Brownfields Inventory Mapping Layer - In collaboration with the Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, the Department of Environmental Protection has enhanced its Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping application, creating a Brownfields Inventory mapping layer that makes valuable information about brownfields sites easily accessible, helping investors, developers, community leaders, Licensed Site Remediation Professionals (LSRPs), and the public identify brownfields with redevelopment potential.
- PEER: Platform for Exploring Environmental Records - Community Lattice has developed a portal available to the public that allows access to publicly available environmental records to inform brownfields redevelopment and planning decisions. PEER can be used as an initial screening tool to identify known contaminated sites for those users seeking environmental data on a specific site or as a tool to beginning the process of developing a brownfields inventory, however, it should be noted that it does not serve as a replacement for standard due diligence.
- Brownfields Inventory Guide - This guide provides an overview of the steps taken to develop a brownfields inventory, sources of data needed for the inventory, and suggestions on how to use the brownfields inventory once completed.
- NJ Community Solar Program - Community solar projects enable greater access to solar energy and encourages local clean energy development that is tied to the communities without compromising the preservation of open space or protected lands in New Jersey. For more information on Community Solar as it relates to brownfields watch this Webinar. The PowerPoint presentation is available HERE. If considering solar on a brownfield site we suggest you complete and submit NJDEP's Readiness Checklist (formerly “scorecard”). This checklist is designed to help applicants and NJDEP program staff/managers to better understand project readiness. Use of the readiness checklist will help identify, before the start of the regulatory process, if a planned project is ready for detailed review by NJDEPt and to identify regulatory issues that may need to be addressed. In addition to framing the project site (lot and block information, acreage, topographic mapping), the checklist will address project ownership, local zoning consistency, water supply, wastewater capacity, the need for additional internal and external governmental approvals, and proposed environmental enhancements.
